Not yet two weeks into May and I have finished several projects.
First, I made little finger puppets for my preschool choir kids.
They sang about Noah and the Ark, so I made these wolves.
Surely wolves were on the ark?
Next, it was David's 10th birthday.
I asked what he wanted and he replied - a costume.
He chose a Renaissance doublet like I made for Noah Lesh several years ago.
Since I couldn't get the same fabric as the first doublet, Emily suggested anything with gold.
I found this maroon and gold decorator fabric at a local shop.
I added a gold cotton lining, gold trim, and gold buttons.
The finished doublet.
I used my serger and sewing machine.
There are 19 buttons! Four on each sleeve and eleven on the front.
Instead of buttonholes I used gold cord loops.
It will take help to get dressed in this heavy coat.
After the costume I finished a skirt and shoulder bag for Miss Ava.
This is the baguette pattern with an adjustable strap.
The lining is two pink fabrics because I didn't have enough of either one.
The baby quilt I shared in the previous post is now finished.
I used a multicolored stripe for the binding.
What's sewing at your place?
Happy sewing!
